President Kim Jong-cheol resigned on the 25th after resigning on the 25th after acknowledging that he had sexually harassed Rep. Jang Hye-young of the same party, and the major political parties responded that it was “shocking”.
Former Chungnam Governor Ahn Hee-jeong, former Mayor of Busan, Park Won-soon, and former Mayor of Seoul, etc., and the Democratic Party, who are not free from sex crimes, have taken an official position at the level of emphasizing the principle. Chief spokesman Choi In-ho said, “It is a matter of surprise beyond the shock,” and “in the light of the Justice Party so far, it will be difficult to estimate the impact of the people from this incident.” He added, “As announced, the Justice Party should take action on this case on the principle of zero tolerance and make sure that no further damage occurs.”
The power of the people, once nicknamed’Seongnuri Party,’ only entered late this afternoon. Spokesman Bae Joon-young said in an oral comment, “Because it is the Justice Party that has taken the lead in realizing human rights and gender equality, the resignation in relation to the sexual harassment case of representative Kim is even more shocking. It is embarrassing to say that the representative of the public party and the victim are members of the National Assembly.
Spokesman Bae said to the Justice Party that it is “natural” to CEO Kim’s apology, and insisted that “we must work together to prevent the spread of secondary damage to the victims and to take measures against the perpetrator.”
In-house spokesman Choi Hyung-du made a comment and criticized the Democratic Party, saying, “Their face and duality of shouting’human rights’ and’progress’ are making the people more angry.” A spokesman Choi said, “The Democratic Party, who said that’they are shocked beyond shock’, want to follow even one-tenth of the Justice Party as far as the apology is concerned,” said the Democratic Party as a’victim’. He mentioned a case where Democratic supporters said they would accuse the victim of sexual harassment with the murder of Park Won-soon.
The Nationalist Party, which had no incidents of sexual crimes involved, strongly criticized the Justice Party. Deputy spokeswoman Shin Na-ri said in a commentary that “the betrayal of the Justice Party calling for women’s rights and gender equality”, “this incident is very shocking considering that one of the core values pursued by the Justice Party was women’s rights.” It is a crime that tramples on dignity, and sexual crimes that continue to occur in the political world such as Ahn Hee-jung, Park Won-soon, and Oh Geo-don cases must be eradicated.”
Deputy spokesman Shin said, “I hope that the Justice Party, which has been crying out for women’s rights and gender equality, will reflect on whether it is properly aware of the weight of words and actions, and once again remind us of the reason for the Party’s existence.” As a courageous and courageous politician, I hope you will do your best to represent women’s rights.”
There were also political parties that made their position around the message of solidarity toward the victims. Shin Ji-hye, the CEO of the Basic Income Party, said, “I send my respect and solidarity to Justice Party Rep. Jang Hye-young, who is determined to reveal all these things despite the unmeasured pain and is working harder than anyone else to resolve the case.” “The Jinbodang will be in solidarity with all the heart so that the victim, Rep. Jang Hye-young can restore his dignity as a human, and will firmly face any situation that causes secondary damage.”
Meanwhile, the Justice Party announced its apology at an official briefing. Chief spokesman Ho-jin Jeong said, “I bow my head to the people and members of the Party for the fact that President Kim’s sexual harassment incident caused a great shock and concern.” “We will examine and diagnose the organizational culture to come up with countermeasures, and The by-election and other matters will be discussed and resolved through the party’s voting bodies.” Chief spokesman Chung added, “We will take decisive measures in accordance with the principles, gender sensitivity, and the Party Constitutional Regulations.”
